Storytelling Fun Giveaway

I am very pleased to introduce you all to this wonderful online store called Storytelling Fun! The lovely owner of this store, Angela, has created a place where we can purchase felt boards and story sets to accompany many of our favorite books, songs and nursery rhymes. Here are just a few examples of the MANY story sets she has to offer...

Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?

Old MacDonald Had a Farm

Five Little Speckled Frogs

You'll also find some really great educational and religious sets at Storytelling Fun. Not only are the products cute and well made they are very reasonably priced with most sets under $10!

We LOVE our story sets and felt board. James carries it with him around the house and can be heard telling stories to our cats and his favorite teddy bear. :)

Angela and I are joining forces to gift one of you a story set of your choice (of a $10 value) AND an awesome mini travel felt board! Here's what you need to do for a chance to win...

Well, something funny, huh? When I came home from work today, my 5-year-old boy and 2-year-old girl had been playing outside. They had the hose, put some water in the kiddie pool, and were ducking the tops of their heads into the water! It was quite funny - especially since they thought of it on their own! Maybe you had to be there to get the full effect! ;-)

Something funny...I came home from three hours of shopping today and the babysitter seemed a bit frazzled and my 2.5 year old was naked. Apparently while having outside time my daughter took a flower put full of dirt and dumped it over her head! The sitter had to give her a bath. No real harm done but I am not the sitter will be coming back!!

Okay, last week we were at a conference and stayed with a host family. They had a son about my son's age, and they shared a room while we were there--my son on the cot and the other boy on his own bed. The last night there, the boys switched beds (unknown to me). I wanted to give Isaac a kiss goodnight, so I went in the already dark room. I reached down and kissed Isaac and said goodnight, fluffing his hair a bit...the goodnight I got back was not my son! I kissed the wrong child, and they all thought it was very, very funny. I was pretty embarrassed. : )

I love the Goldilocks and the 3 bears set (and I think my daughter would LOVE it even more than me!)

Does it count if I already like you on facebook and follow you here?? I now like Storytelling Fun on FB!

Funny story, might be TMI but...after listening to lots of music one day, my daughter is sitting on the potty (makes me sit with her)and starts saying "yes Lord" in this grunting voice as she is working on a BM! Sooooo funny (to us at least)

I signed up my son for Cub Scouts at the beginning of this school year and he was so excited. But at that end of the very first meeting he turned to me and said, "Mom, when are they gonna give us our cub-cakes?"

I think the Tots play set is really cute with the babies or the Baby Bella; the mini version of that. My favorite story felt set was the Hungry Caterpillar. I’m a follower of your blog and will go and like Counting Coconuts and Story Telling Fun on facebook.

something funny... I was on a conference call today and suddenly got a bad case of the hiccups! I hiccuped right in the middle of a really serious point. We all laughed, but I'll bet my client thinks I'm a total drunk! LOL

something funny...something funny?? ummmm B has to pick a storybook character to dress up as at preschool and today he decided that he wants to be Hooper Humperdink (from the dr. seuss book). First of all, nobody is going to know who that is or what his costume is. lol So dorky! =)

So here is something funny for you. Remember - you gave us the geography game in the pretty green bag. Anna's favorite part is the string that she somehow pulled out of the bag. She just loves including it in so many of her pretend games - she enjoys having "her own rope". She does keep geography game nicely stacked inside of the original bag.

I love these felt board sets! I hope to win one :) I've been meaning to make one of my own, but her mini travel one is perfect and a great price. I love the variety (we love Silly Sally!) on her site. I especially like the zoo set & dino set.

We're followers on email & already "liked" you on facebook, so hopefully that makes 3 entries for us so far...

Something funny... my son speaks mainly Chinese, but with at my mother gathering with my second, to speak to the women, he just kept saying "grandma farted"... cuz it was English he knew, and everyone would laugh. Poor Grandma was sitting right there...

Something funny my kiddos did...well, my son who just turned 3 yesterday is always surrounded by little girls (his sister who is 20 months) and our whole playgroup is also girls. He is a very boyish boy and likes backhoes and garbage trucks, etc, but the girls all call him "Prince Philip" from Sleeping Beauty and want to play dress-ups all the time. The other day at playdate, one of the girls ordered him in a very non-princesslike gruff voice, "Lucas, come over here and give me the kiss of true love!" It was pretty hilarious! Jenny

Funny? When my daughter is asked what she would like to be for halloween, she tells people "dorky, the lady with the hook or a wench." When they stare at me in disbelief I have to explain she means Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz (which she has never seen but the lure of those red sparkly shoes), little bo peep (cuz her baby sis is going to be a lamb and she has decided she will use the shepard's hook keep her from getting lost) or a witch.

For something funny: Monkey and I were at the car, and I found an old water bottle. So I was pouring out the water from the bottle next to the car. Monkey asked "What's that noise" I wasn't sure what he was talking about so I said "I don't know". He said "mom, I think you peed in your pants"LOL

Something funny.....@ 5am this morning, my husband took our 3 yr old back to his room to get some more sleep (he has nightmares and usually ends up in a little bed we made up for him in the corner of our room). My husband and I decided to lay on the floor in his room until he went back to sleep. I put my pillow down (apparently on a toy) and went to lay on it when I hear a LOUD buzz Lightyear say "STOP, alien imposter! I will blast you with my laser!"....huh - I's rather sleep in my own bed anyway, Buzz!!

I follow your blog! But I love all the felt stories, I think my favorites are the birth of christ. I am also really loving the prices :D thanks for the opportunity. raynay68@comcast.net Hugs and Blessings, Renee

hmm something funny.. This morning I was getting ready to go into the office (I only do this on Monday) and I stuck a packet of oatmeal in the microwave instead of the cup of water :-P I blame this on the fact that I hadn't drank my coffee yet!

I love the story books, especially the Little Red Hen set. So one day we had a very long rainy day inside and at the end of the day we just scattered foam stickers all over the floor and my kids stuck all kind of stickers to their underwear and bodies and ran around. It was a big fun sticker mess.

Something funny?My 5 year old was crying after losing yet another game of go fish. I said "mom doesn't cry when I lose" and she said "you are an adult. I'm a child". So true I had to laugh and give her a hug.
